MATERIALS
HOW TO PLAY
1

Two wrestlers stand chest to chest and each grips the other's belt or jacket with both hands before the referee starts the match.

2

Using only holds above the waist, each wrestler tries to lift, twist, or unbalance the other into a fall.

3

Touching the ground with any part of the body above the knee, other than the feet, ends the round in the opponent's favor.

4

Wrestlers may not release both grips at once or strike their opponent; doing so draws a warning from the referee.

5

Matches are won by the first clean fall, or by referee decision if neither wrestler falls within the time limit.
